Oh, I actually didn't consider that deep into the metaphor. That's a brilliant observation, and I will re-write it to include a period in which an ice-age occurred!

Isn't Lake Powell one of the most beautiful landscapes in the world. Just about an hour north of there, in my home state of Utah, they have the Grand Staircase which really showcases the beauty of the stratification. Hope you got to see it. 😃

I always enjoy a good geological poem so thanks for posting this one Randall. On my travels across the States last year I marvelled at the many stratas of rock high above Horseshoe Bend in Arizona.

I feel there might be a little poetic license in your last line as the Triassic period was distinguished for having mass extinction events at the beginning and end but no ice age to make your pancakes colder! But I might be wrong, I'm no geologist.
